Abstract
The principles of industrial safety described in this paper are discussed from the viewpoint of the industrial supervisor. Maintaining a safe work environment is considered to be a prime responsibility of line supervisors. Accident prevention is viewed as avoidance of unsafe acts and conditions. Guidelines are suggested which enable the the supervisor to impart a safety consciousness on the worker. The Occupational Safety and Health Act and its practical implications are discussed from the standpoint of reporting, correction of unsafe conditions, and penalties. Recommendations are made in the areas of training, communication, and employee motivation.
